Move 18

I like 18. Nxa5 at this stage :smile:

Another move that might be worth investigating is 18. Bc3, remembering "to take is a mistake" :smile:

They varied from my previous analysis, so here is how I see the line going forward:

18. Bxa5 Qc8 (up one pawn)
19. b6 Nb5
20. Bg4 f5
21. exf5 Nd4 (up another pawn)
22. Qd3

and we have command. See any holes in my line?

I think the best piece to take with is the bishop.so as to challenge the queen.

Bishop from d2 to a5.

I think I am a Bxa5 advocate.

22...gxf5
23.Bxf5 Nxf5
24.Qxf5 Nxb6
25.Qxc8+ Nxc8
Black are only a pawn behind. Their king is weak but we no longer have our queen.
